If you save your life, but destroy the lives of your whole people, will you hate me? If you don't have affection for you, and let you be snubbed in the house, will you hate me?

In those days when he hugged and slept together, Shen Li asked himself these words more than once. But there was no answer to the answer, so he could only hold the person in his arms tightly and make his heart feel more steady.

"Master, when will we return to Beijing?"

Yuluo couldn't bear to see him like this, so he had the courage to change the topic. Shen Li stood with his hands in his hands, not making a sound, as if he didn't hear it. After waiting for a long time, he muttered, "A few more days." ”

This sentence carries some helplessness, but also a hint of expectation. Yuluo has been by Shen Li's side for many years, and he doesn't dare to say how well he knows him, but there are some things, as a bystander, he can see very thoroughly.

"Master, the cave has collapsed, the river is pouring down, and there can be no survivors. The prince doesn't need to feel guilty, everything is providential, and it is destined to make Miss Mu sacrifice to help you achieve great things. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Li finally turned around. He lowered his head slightly to look at Yuluo, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a killing intent burst out from his body. Since Yuluo dared to say such a thing, he naturally knew what the consequences would be. But at this moment, he is not afraid,

He knew that Shen Li had always liked to hide his thoughts in his heart, and he was silently sad and painful, never saying a word. But the matter has come to this point, and there is no power to return to heaven. The third prince lost Miss Mu, and he couldn't even lose the future throne!

"Yuluo, how long have you been with me?"

"The nineteenth of this month has passed, and it is a full ten years. ”

"Ten years?"

I don't know if it's because of the hazy moonlight at night, Shen Li's eyes are full of confusion. But this was only for a moment, he closed his eyes, the dark clouds dispersed, the sad and lonely back disappeared, and the lonely and arrogant Third Prince came back. Only this time, no one can give him warmth.

"Aren't you tired of following this king for ten years?

Yu Luo was startled, and couldn't help but hang his head lower. "The subordinates don't dare!"

"Don't dare?"

Shen Li walked to the table and sat down, and poured himself a glass of water. "Well, get up. The king knows that you are faithful, and that you consider him in all things. But don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. The reason why the king stayed here for a few days was not because of some hope. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Li took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "According to what you said before, the Snow Country invaded my border, and it was menacing, and even Old General Feng was martyred. Have you ever wondered why they're so powerful?"

Yuluo shook his head silently, he was just the master's sword and shield. When his master is in danger, he shields him from it. Whoever the master tells him to kill, he will kill. There is no hesitation, and there is no consideration of why I did it.

Shen Li put down the teacup and tapped his fingers on the table. "Although my father allowed Snow Country to exist alone, he would never let them go. That's why the two countries have always been at peace with each other. And this time, the snow country suddenly attacked, and it must have been hidden from the eyes of the emperor, maybe the people lurking in the snow country have already been caught and killed. I have heard that the current king of the Snow Country is very ambitious, and he has long wanted to get his hands on the land of my Daming, and this battle is undoubtedly the beginning of the war! In other words, the depth of the opponent's strength is still unknown, and whoever takes over the commander and sets out for the expedition is a fool!"

"Then master, you still let the Seventh Prince ......"

Shen Li waved his hand to interrupt, "Don't worry, the seventh brother won't go on the expedition." I promised to let him go back, but I didn't want him to be in danger. He's still like a child, too impulsive in everything. I didn't have the certainty of taming the unicorn, and with him, I was even more uneasy. So simply take the opportunity and let him go first. The expedition is a major event, and even if the father and queen mother love him, they will not let him come nonsense. If the other brothers shirk each other, most of the final expeditions will fall on the other generals. ”

Shen Li stopped his movements, looked up and looked out the window again. "So what you and I have to do now is to stay here for a few days and delay the time, and then wait quietly in the mansion for news when we go back. I also happen to have some things to deal with, and when things are taken care of, then the real show begins!"

*

Three days later, Shen Li and Yuluo returned to Beijing in a carriage. Before leaving, the shopkeeper went out to see them off, and saw Shen Li's eyes looking at the mountain not far away, and couldn't help but lean into his ear and said mysteriously: "A few days ago, the old man in the village said that he heard movement in the middle of the night, and the ground shook slightly. When I got up early the next morning, I found that this Xuanwu Mountain seemed to be a little shorter. Isn't it strange, you say?"

When the shopkeeper said this, he originally wanted to see if he could get some words out of Shen Li's mouth. Unexpectedly, the other party remained silent, took out a piece of gold and threw it to him, and then got into the carriage and left. He pursed his lips and felt a little unhappy in his heart. But the momentum of the people is too terrifying, and the black-clothed little brother who follows him looks like he wants to kill, he can't afford to provoke him, so he doesn't dare to ask more. I just hope that there are no brave people in the village who can go to the mountains to see what is going on. Otherwise, this doubt exists in my heart, and it is itchy and uncomfortable.

However, when he thought of this day in the future, he suddenly felt that this peerless man looked at the mountain with a look of sadness. I don't know where the handsome little brother who came with him went, and where did the beautiful girl go?

*

After a few more days, the two finally returned to the stable, and the carriage did not return to the house, but ran directly to the imperial city. The wind and dust all the way did not make Shen Li look embarrassed, but his slightly emaciated face made people feel a little distressed.

When he entered the palace, he went straight to the imperial study, but was stopped by a grandmother halfway. That grandmother is an old man in the palace, and the reason why Shen Li went with her first is because this grandmother is a person who has served the summer queen for many years. Xia Hou's legs and feet are inconvenient, since this grandmother is allowed to stop him at this moment, there must be something important.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the Xianqing Palace, he saw that the Empress Xia had a sad face. When I saw him, I almost forgot that my legs were disabled, and I couldn't wait to hold him for something. 's anxious appearance doesn't look like a steady summer queen on weekdays. Shen Li frowned, and immediately knew what had happened. So he hurriedly walked to her side, took her hand and patted it to reassure her a little.

"Don't panic, don't panic, just tell your son if there is anything. ”

After summer, her eyes were red, and she looked like she hadn't had a good rest for a few days. She settled down a little before she spoke: "It's good for you to come back, hurry up and help me persuade your father and the emperor to summon Yan'er back." The border is in chaos, he is just a child, how can he lead the troops to fight?"

Shen Li was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out: "What? Ayan led the troops to the battle?"
